Does anybody remember craptacular ‘80s flick Hard Ticket to Hawaii? It starred Bold & the Beautiful soap stud Ron Moss alongside four Playboy centerfolds (in their big acting break) as undercover federal agents who try to thwart an international drug kingpin. They engage in “a series of explosions, car chases, karate fights and love scenes that will blow you away.” Add this to your Netflix queue NOW!!!

Check out this Oscar-snubbed scene in which Moss barrels through a wall on a motorcycle to rescue a Playmate from  a rogue snake.

Former ’80s heartthrob Corey Haim is dead at 38. He’s best known for his role in the teen vampire  flick The Lost Boys, and most recently chronicled his ups-and-downs as a recovering addict and friend to Corey Feldman on A&E series The Two Coreys. He was pronounced dead from a suspected overdose at Burbank hospital at 3 a.m. today. Haim has been vocal about his crack cocaine and prescription drug abuse in the past.

You can see the obvious toll his drug abuse has taken on his looks, seen below with pal Corey Feldman:

A swingers’ recruiting video from the ’80s gets a viral afterlife. Let’s hope for what they lack in the video they make up for in the bedroom. Can we say awkward?

I guarantee you’ve never seen graphics like this before–a scene from ’80-rific The Worst Witch.

Another hysterical literal music video strikes again. And this time Pat Benatar’s 1983 hit Love is a Battlefield gets the literal parody treatment. The choreographer’s commentary at 3:20 is GOLD! What do you think? Not bad, huh? It’s a close second to the very funny Total Eclipse of the Heart literal video.

Let’s all agree that people who are stupid enough to get scammed, pretty much deserve it. For those of you who helped finance a Nigerian prince or got charged an additional $50 to your phone bill to hear Paula Abdul’s pre-recorded message–twice–I have no sympathy for you. Just take a look at some of these ridiculous 900 numbers from the ’80s and ’90s and explain to me how anyone could possibly dial them:

Crying hotline
Cost: $2 per minute
What it is: People sobbing uncontrollably
Cheaper alternative: Hear Heidi Montag sing and you too will sob uncontrollably.

Secret confessions
Cost: $2 first minute. $1 each additional minute
What it is: Listen in privately to women confessing their inner most feelings
Cheaper alternative: Go to the JJB message boards or Twitter to find out about people burning their toast

Freddy Kruger hotline
Cost: $2 first minute, 45 cents each additional minute
What it is: Listen to a child murderer tell you bed time stories. Ask mom and dad for permission first!
WTF: As a child, this commercial scared me. As an adult, this commercial made me shit myself all over again.

UFO hotline
Cost: $2 first minute, 35 cents each additional minute
Cheaper alternative: Read Weekly World News or Star magazine. Both are filled with far more entertaining lies.

Santa hotline:
Cost: 69 cents per minute

Senate-seat hopeful Scott Brown posed “naked” for Cosmopolitan in the ’80s. And while you may not agree with the Republicanbot’s policies, you have to admit–he looked damn good in his prime. But if Cosmopolitan‘s comments board is to be believed, he’s too hairy for most of their tastes. What do you think?

Long before he was a politician, the Republican candidate vying for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmo. Scott Brown won our “America’s Sexiest Man” contest and appeared in the June 1982 issue. In those days he was a 22-year-old law student at Boston College who was cramming for finals just days before stripping down for our photographer.

COMMENTS:

He’s not sexy, he’s furry. And his views are massively messed up. Get him off of Cosmo!!!!

this is supposed to be sexy? that picture makes me feel a bit sick actually. put it away you hairy beast.

Ladies,, in 1982 No heterosexual man would have even considered waxing anything and lets put it this way, for his time yes he’s hot.
